Edison International Research Report

On October 1, 2013, Edison International reported that its subsidiary, Southern California Edison (SCE), has criticized Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Mitsubishi) for being uncooperative, while also publicizing its demand that Mitsubishi should reimburse SCE for expenses incurred in responding to the fundamental defects in the San Onofre replacement steam generators (RSGs) that were designed and manufactured by Mitsubishi. The Company in its letter to Mitsubishi - dated September 27, 2013, stated, "Edison spent over $140 million investigating the cause of excessive tube wear in the RSGs following a tube leak in one of the Unit 3 RSGs, plugging damaged tubes in all four RSGs, and attempting to restart Unit 2 after both Units were shut down due to the RSG defects. Mitsubishi's actions have made it clear that no reasonable level of documentation will ever be sufficient to support payment in its view. We are therefore unwilling to engage in yet another time-consuming effort, only to face continued stonewalling by Mitsubishi."
